043 - Female Economic Empowerment with Women’s Foundation of Boston

<p>When starting a business, no matter the industry, it’s important to recognize how you can meet a need, fill in a gap, and/or fulfill a demand. My guest this week is able to meet the needs of her community, fill in a gap for Non-Profit organizations, and fulfill a demand to help women and girls find financial freedom in the Greater Boston area.</p> <p>This week, I am talking with Christina Gordon, CEO at Women’s Foundation of Boston. Women’s Foundation of Boston “is a registered 501(c)(3) that economically empowers Greater Boston women and girls through funding high impact leadership and economic programs in partnership with nonprofits serving solely women and girls”.</p> <p>In this episode, Christina shares how the Women’s Foundation of Boston helps women and girls feel empowered through their careers and finances, as well as leadership and education opportunities. Although Covid-19 took a toll on many businesses and communities, the Women's Foundation of Boston was able to raise over half a million dollars and give back to over 6,000 women and girls through the Global Pandemic.</p> <p><strong>Topics Discussed:</strong></p> <ul> <li>The importance of filling a gap in business and nonprofit<br> </li> <li>Why Intentionality should be the driving force behind creating an impact<br> </li> <li>Defining “Mission Creep” in NonProfit Organizations<br> </li> <li>Understanding Market Research through database research<br> </li> <li>Creating a roadmap for Sustainability<br> </li> <li>How Covid-19 created space for Nonprofits to flourish</li> </ul> <p><strong>Connect with Women’s Foundation of Boston:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>Facebook: </strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/wfboston/"><u>https://www.facebook.com/wfboston/<br> </u></a></li> <li><strong>Instagram:</strong> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/wfboston/"><u>https://www.instagram.com/wfboston/<br> </u></a></li> <li><strong>LinkedIn:</strong> &nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/christina-gordon-07767932/"><u>https://www.linkedin.c
